Sadly Yze Magic was probably our most exciting prospect of the era. Shame he never got drafted....

I’m surprised Barry P didn’t recruit him during his golden recruiting era.

    My vote for Chris form Camberwell is most likely @picket fence or as a long shot @DV8

    LoL... ummhh,  Chris from Camberwell.. HaHa.

    I've heard  'CfromC'  speak on radio, a couple years ago.  i'm very afraid to say, I'm nothing like him..

    I'm probably more a cross between 'Skipper' on Gilligan's Isle,,,  and the 'Professor' on the Isle... now, where did I put that darn Cap down..

    I suppose on that lonely island for all those years, with nothing to do, all kinds of strange things ensued. Must be the tropical water.

    (Me, even at a tender young age, I always envisaged "crossing" with Mary Anne.)

    I guess you learned about MFC from distant 3UZ broadcasts. The professor must have got the radio working then?

    I suppose it  'did', 'MR'.

     

    'Mary-Anne' was around my speed, as well... GinGer was just, a bit too 'spicy',,, for li'lle ol' me.

    If someone can locate the genuine Chris from Camberwell, the offer still stands of a gig on one of our Demonland podcasts so that he can illuminate us with his voluminous knowledge of what the MFC needs to succeed in the world.

    If we could find Alan Jakovich, then finding Chris from Camberwell should be easy.

    Hey WJ, long time since NY, why not give the radio producer a call, they are great at that sort of thing.

    Chris from Camberwell rang Dwayne Russell’s programme on 3AW and told the listening audience that Melbourne had some real beauties in the Casey VFL team and was adamant that JVR should be in the Melbourne team. 

    Dwayne gave him a prize.

    He's on to something...

    Haha! Chris always rings in with about 25 questions just before the news, so nothing is ever answered!

    I do enjoy listening to him. Your right. He does ask a lot of questions and often answers them. Often they over Dwayne's head. Haha

    He is the best going around 👌, Has parked his love of Weideman and fallen for a massive man crush on JVR.

    Chris was effusive about JVR but he didn’t stop there. He loves them all including young Howes, Laurie, the son of Woewodin and watch out for “Wakefield” (sic) an Aboriginal from “Alice Springs*”. I was driving south down the Monash Freeway when I heard him waxing so lyrically about our young talent that fair dinkum, I missed the turnoff at Wellington Road. None of these blokes has played a single AFL game yet but he had me convinced that they all were strong candidates for next year’s All Australian honours and well on the way to induction in a future Hall of Fame. Rejoice Demon fans!

    * I have little doubt that Chris from Camberwell is the font of all knowledge on matters Melbourne but he did have me scurrying to Professor Google for a fact check on Andy Moniz-Wakefield and all that I could find about his origins was that he was recruited from Nightcliff, a team that’s located in Darwin which is more or less 1,290 kilometres (802 miles) away from Alice Springs but I suppose that’s close enough for a program styled “Midday Madness”.

    Only one expression could be used to describe that: stream of conciousness

    The only knock I have on CFC is that he seems to struggle getting the players names right. Several times i've heard him call Fritsch "Bradley Fitz" and JVR "Van Rooyna" It just makes me cringe at times as he's on the radio often. Love his passion for MFC and all that but just try and get the names right so you don't sound like an imbecile.

    Chris from Camberwell comes across as some sort of 'Milton the Monster' type mutant hybrid with a humouresque demonic twist. Concocted deep down in the Demonland laboratories. Contributors from the Demonland 'illuminati' who could be called to lend their 'bits' to this ungodly patch up.

    Include: Special Robert because he is out there; Demonstone who 'talks' in riddles; daisycutter is a tram ride away; Redleg is well connected;  Uncle Bitters has the necessary thick hide;  picket fence for just a drop..., oops!!! ..., of his fervent deemania and Whispering Jack because he keeps banging on about... Chris from Camberwell.

    All i know is if Chris is ever located and approached about being on a Demonland podcast the ratings and viewership will be through the roof.

    Dwayne's antennas shoot straight up when he sees Chris from Camberwell's details displayed on his broadcast screen.

    I know everyone might not agree with his content and accuracy of questioning, but you can't deny his passion for the MFC, Chris bleeds red and blue.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
